Watch PlayerUnknown describe the prologue, a post-pub project his own

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, commonly known as PUBG (or Game for Peace in China), is one of the most successful and influential games of all time, four years after its release.

Green says his new team has created a neural network that can "generate a massively realistic open world at runtime—every time you hit the game," calling it a "breakthrough" and a "prologue." Quick". A simple introduction to repetition would be "our technology."

Here is their full description of the preamble:

No word on when we should expect the prologue yet, but Green gave an exclusive interview to VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi. According to the publication, it should go live on Saturday at 8:45 am.

According to a report in VentureBeat, the company that Greene left also has a stake in the new company. Crafton (formerly known as PUBG Corp and before that Bluehole Studios) is also working on its next game, a fantasy epic currently known as "Project Windless" based on Korean folklore. . Is. Is.
